Perry will be returning to the Hong Kong Sinfonietta on October 24 and 31 to lead the first live concerts in Hong Kong in several months. Both evenings will be dedicated to Beethoven’s music, with the Seventh Symphony on the first concert, and the Pastorale closing the second. The first concert will open with the world premiere of composer Daniel Lo’s Autumn Rhythm II, inspired by Jackson Pollock’s painting of the same name. Pianist Colleen Lee will be the soloist on both concerts, in the Third and Fifth concertos respectively.

This year’s virtual National Arts Festival of South Africa will feature my 2018 performance of Verdi’s Requiem from Cape Town City Hall with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra. The concert will be available from 5 July.

I will be posting links here to recent archival recordings that are being streamed. First up, two suites by Gabriel Fauré (Pelleas et Melisande and Shylock) in the first part of Balanchine’s Jewels from the Royal Danish Ballet with the incomparable Royal Danish Orchestra in the pit. (Performance from May 2017)
